Florida vs. Tennessee Predictions

Tennessee has won four straight games while covering the spread in each of those contests. Due to that impressive stretch, the Volunteers are now No. 2 in the latest AP poll while holding the fourth-best NCAA basketball championship odds. That begs the question: is Tennessee too comfortable at the moment? Will the Volunteers be complacent in this tricky road matchup at Florida?

It won’t necessarily be easy for Tennessee, but there’s reason to believe the Volunteers will pull away in this game. After all, they have won four straight by double digits, and two of those were by 20+ points. Meanwhile, the Gators haven’t been great against top teams this season, and there’s reason to believe their offense — which ranks 237th in effective field goal rate — will struggle to keep up.
